What you can expect with Alloy Storage
- Straight monthly pricing for outdoor storage—what you’ll pay and what’s included

A simple choice between storing at our yard or keeping storage on your property with an on-site flat-pack container
Two practical ways to store (choose what saves time)
Pull up to your unit, unload, lock, and go. Ideal during moves, renovations, and cleanups when you want a neutral place for belongings and predictable yard hours.
We place a compact container at your address for daily, zero-travel access. Great for projects where you’ll be in and out of storage multiple times a day. If plans change, we’ll help you switch between on-site and yard storage.
Quick tip: If you’ll visit occasionally, the yard unit is efficient. If you’ll access daily, on-site storage often saves time and trips.
Pricing without promo guesswork
People searching outdoor storage units Saint John want a predictable monthly number. Your quote includes:
- Transparent monthly rate by size
- Any one-time fees (if applicable), stated up front
- Exactly what’s included (yard access details, support, lock guidance)
- A quick size comparison if a smaller or larger unit would reduce cost
If you’re between sizes, we’ll review your item list and stack plan. The goal is a right-sized unit—not the biggest one.

Outdoor vs climate-controlled: a simple decision guide
You don’t need climate control for everything. Use this item-by-item guide:
- Electronics and delicate tech (TVs, computers, audio gear)
- Fine wood furniture, instruments, artwork, photographs
- Leather goods and temperature-sensitive fabrics
- Kitchenware, clothing in sealed bins, books, basic furniture
- Tools, outdoor gear, patio items, seasonal décor

Many households use a mixed setup—a small climate unit for delicates plus an outdoor unit for everything else. We’ll help you split items safely and keep costs reasonable.
